High Speed I/O – Transceiver
Multi-gigabit designs require more than a functioning FPGA. El Camino offers extensive support for planning, development, and testing of PCB layouts and circuits with fast transceivers, like those found today in Stratix V GT components.
PCB design
- Impedance controlled design for fast signals
- Layout of high pin count BGAs
- Multilayer up to 30 layers
Simulation and measurements
Modeling and simulation of critical multi-gigabit signals- Impedance measurement of arbitrary signals on the PCB (rho measurement)
- Coordination of quadripole parameters
- Cross talk, slew rate and propagation delay measurements
- Targeted analysis and preparation of suggestions for improvement
Laboratory equipment:
- Sampling scope (20 GHz)
- Vector network analyzer
- Pulse generator (20 GHz)
- Spectrum analyzer
